Purpose: To compare rebound tonometer and cannulation as methods for measuring intraocular pressure (IOP) in rats.
Methods: The accuracy of the TonoLab rebound tonometer was determined in eight cannulated rat eyes. IOP was manipulated by changing air pressure from 20 to 100 mmHg at 10-mmHg intervals, and the IOP was measured with the rebound tonometer at each level. The average value of three repeated pressure readings was recorded. Correlation analysis and comparison with the Bland and Altman method were performed. The intraclass correlation coefficient was calculated to assess intraoperator variability.
Results: The IOP values measured with the TonoLab rebound tonometer were well correlated with the actual IOP (r (2) = 0.963, P = 0.01). The mean of the difference between the rebound tonometer and actual (cannulation) IOP was 7.41 +/- 7.87%. The intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.9, indicating low intraoperator variability.
Conclusions: The rebound tonometer showed high accuracy and reliability for IOP measurement in rat eyes.

Background: Bacterial contamination of medical equipment is a significant risk in both human and veterinary medicine, leading to potential cross-contamination between clinicians, technicians, patients, and healthcare professionals. Pathogens can persist on surfaces, resulting in healthcare-associated infections. Tonometry used to measure intraocular pressure for diagnosing conditions like glaucoma and uveitis, is crucial in both human and veterinary care.

Purpose: This study aims to perform a clinical investigation of an innovative rebound technology-based device, the M-TONX, to simultaneously measure intraocular pressure (IOP) and central corneal thickness (CCT).
Methods: The IOP and CCT of the patients were first measured by the M-TONX. Then, the measurements were repeated by the Goldman applanation (GAT) and the Pentacam corneal topographer, as the standard devices.

Aim: To investigate the role of transmembrane protein 206 (TMEM206) in corneal edema in mice by knockout the gene using CRISPR/Cas9 editing technology.
Methods: -knockout mice were generated using the CRISPR-Cas9 system. Variations in ophthalmic pathology were observed using slit lamp microscope and optical coherence tomography (OCT), intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured using a TonoLab Rebound Tonometer, and the ultrastructure of the corneal was observed using a transmission electron microscope.

Aim: To investigate the patterns of short-term intraocular pressure (IOP) fluctuations and identify the contributing factors following intravitreal injection in patients with retinal vascular diseases.
Methods: Totally 81 patients were enrolled in this case control study. Eyes were categorized into 7 groups, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV), idiopathic choroidal neovascularization (CNV), proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), diabetic macular edema (DME), macular edema secondary to branch (BVOME) and central (CVOME) retinal vein occlusion.
